Star Wars 7 shit talk

"When I was a kid everyone played Star Wars. When the prequels came out, all the kids played nu-Star Wars"

kids don't play anything anymore, they have no imagination

when i was a child

make that three.

also easy to forget: the newest movie came out last Christmas, there hasn't even been a Halloween yet.

When does that next movie come out?

We have a thread for that

Star Wars Anthology shit talk (Rogue One, Young Solo, TBD)

Star Wars, Clone Wars, Rebels, Oh My

kids don't play anything anymore, they have no imagination

they just lay in bed drooling while staring at vines on their iphones IIRC

Don't know if this has already been posted but fair fucking play

wonglingwoo!

That's awesome

Impressive.

tbh i thought Solo's death was cheaply staged and made kiddies bawl

wow what a colossal waste of time that webpage is. must have taken ages.

Sent the guy an email, told him to make sure he checks with you next time he does anything to make sure you approve.

thanks for philsplaining

I am loving that webpage.

Props for whoever did it for their hard work, but it's kinda boring.

I daresay the guy who did it will get some cool work as a result of it. I'm guessing Adam can't say the same for his contributions to ilx.

actually i've gotten some good work from ilx. some music videos. some songs. some cool stuff.

this is sort of cute, i will give it that, but visually dull. and i'm pretty sure competition for art & design work at Disney is tough and most portfolios would take a crap all over this.

this should be filed this under Baconing of Minimalism.

also tbh i feel like the standard for being above criticism on ILX has to be something higher than "the creator will probably get some good work from it." people get all kinds of work out of viral-ready mediocrity all the time. not everything that takes a long time to do is all that great.

I think the standard for criticism should be higher than "that took a lot of time." Smacks of "that guy had too much free time, right?"

Yeah okay, that's fair. I think I sort of inserted some words from my own reaction to the piece, which was that it was taking me an inordinately long time to consume and yet without producing any kind of joy or critical insight or anything so that I suddenly went "why am I still clicking forward in this?"

Yeah. Movie-converted-to-flowchart, while impressive, is not the most exciting medium.

What mental process led you from "will probably get some work" to "will get hired by Disney?" Serious question, can you read?

lol

I feel bad about reading Adam's posts in a monotone, lumbering voice but it sometimes pays off

I think the standard for criticism should be higher than "that took a lot of time." Smacks of "that guy had too much free time, right?"

well exactly

How about this: it took someone a whole lot of time to produce something that's kinda neat but ultimately really boring, and which 99.99% of people will never finish beyond the first few scrolls.

So it's like a self-published ebook that you give away for free!

If someone can get some animated-SVG AT-ATs going at some point I'd take that.

Tuomas just described most ilx threads

tuomas just described my phd thesis

he described the OPPOSITE of my college noise band "greatest hits" collection, though

i'm going to make one of these infographics that, as it scrolls, tells the story of my penis

ctrl++

Serious question, can you read?

serious question, have i insulted you personally on one of these threads? i feel like you are following me around bullying me. you seem weirdly invested in calling me an idiot at every opportunity.

yo AB, throw "CHEWBACON" on that and you've got yourself something that might go viral even faster than dude's laborious scrolling star wars graphic

I might like the infographic concept more if it were applied to a different movie. Star Wars is so trampled at this point that things like this stop being impressive.

or like... across the top it could say "CHEWBACON SAYS..." and across the bottom it could say "LET THE BACON WIN." i dunno just spitballing here, don't spend too much time on it.

yeah, that's fair jmm. i mean it'd be cool if you really felt like it was being used analytically to reveal something about the movie's structure or pacing or density of dialogue versus silence or something like that. like the author realized woah there's this crazy thing going on in movie X and this was the best way they found to depict that. instead it's just fanart for the illustrator cartoonoid generation.

I'm not interested unless we can get a shitty mashup tshirt design out of this

closed the chewbacon tab immediately, as if it contained The Entertainment

There's totally a reference to Arrested Development in the scene with the Rathtars. "This was a mistake!" "Huge!"

"This bounty hunter is my kind of scum - fearless and inventive."

i rewatched this tonight at home with my kids who hadn’t seen it since it came out in the cinema i.e. many lifetimes ago. they both remembered and dreaded the scene where han dies.

at one point my younger son (8) goes “why are they called the first order now?” and in reply his brother (10) says matter-of-factly “they changed the name when disney bought it”.
